hyperledger-fabric-bccsp-rsa

A RSA toolchain to allow Hyperledger Fabric support RSA certificates This docment introduce how to use the rsa certs in fabric. The OOTB fabric uses ecc , and we will use the plugin factory and create the rsa plugin to support the rsa certs.

Prerequisites

• install go version 1.11.x is required. https://golang.ir/dl/

• install make we will use make to compile the peer/order etc bin.

• install git we will use git to download the fabric code base.

Steps

Step 1: Download the codebase from git

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger
cd  $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger
git clone https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric.git
and please checkout the correct branch

Step 2: build the bins

cd  $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric
make  peer
make  orderer

Note: 
a. we cannot use the docker images, since the docker images cannot link the plugins.
We will create our own bins and  run that bin on the peer or orderer directly. Also we will
build our rsa plugin based on the fabric codebase.
b.  please  export the right go envs , then you can run that bin on the right machines.

Step 3: build the plugin

also checkout the rsa plugin here:
https://github.com/doublechaintech/hyperledger-fabric-bccsp-rsa/tree/master/bccsp/src

use go build -buildmode=plugin -o rsa.so 

Step 4: config the new core.yaml for peer, and orderer.yaml for orderer

example:(TODO)
https://github.com/philipgreat/hyperledger-fabric/blob/master/config/core.yaml,please take the PLUGIN section, you need add that.
https://github.com/philipgreat/hyperledger-fabric/blob/master/config/orderer.yaml,please take the PLUGIN section, you need add that.

Step 5: start Orderer and Peer

example:(TODO)
